Major Update "Ninth Wave" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

The impression I get from gunjob is that

  1. they sometimes get early access to the dev server and so get to alpha test things before anyone else

  2. they can directly badger the Devs

But that’s just mostly a guess

That is actually crazy. AIM-120DoA, they really did the meme.

I am genuinely starting to somehow understand why the Chinese community despises bvvd so much

So am I getting this right so far:

  • BVVD compares AIM-120D to AIM-120C
  • BVVD said that AIM-120D will have same warhead and engine as AIM-120C
  • BVVD said that AIM-120D will have worse close-range performance (using context, he means compared to AIM-120C).
  • This wasn’t claimed by BVVD but apparently AIM-120A/B will be removed and replaced with AIM-120C stock and AIM-120D as upgrade?

The Gripen E can carry 16x spice 250 + 2x mav no?

Funny limit when it’s already surpassed.

Glide and rockets bosted missile is 2 different thing no ?

Read. He was talking about mavs.

Lmaooo so adding aim-120D is actually gonna make US top tier worse as it will remove the aim-120a (the actual best 120 ingame)

And I know for sure bvvd won’t allow the 120D to be an actual competent missile

It’s the MANPADs situation all over again…

Basically the US is getting EVEN WORSE at close range with no actual increase to range lovely, all just to get another C-5 with better INS not even 2 way datalink

F-16C at 13.0? Am I missing something??

If they are lowering its BR, it may become somewhat interesting!

Placeholder BR

tbf the mavs are TV guided so they arent really good also got to sacrifice most A2A weapons

Yup. @Morvran you sure you still want AIM-120D on the Eurofighter?

You talked about a 16 fnf limit, which if it exists Gaijin seems to care little about.

This brings back the trauma from when I was trying to stock grind and spade my F-16I.

And for this F-16C it’s going to be even worse due to the new meta.

Like it or not.

16 gbu53 plus 6 mavs will never happen.
